*** About The Great Wave off Kanagawa: The Great Wave off Kanagawa, originally published between 1829 and 1833, is part of Katsushika Hokusai's series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji". It is considered one of the most recognizable works of Japanese art in the world. The artwork depicts an enormous wave threatening boats near the Japanese prefecture of Kanagawa.
